Solid Rivets by Material

Aluminum

Aluminum solid rivets offer an ideal combination of light weight, corrosion resistance, and workability for marine, transportation, and architectural applications. Our extensive aluminum rivet inventory includes multiple alloys to match your specific requirements for strength, formability, and environmental resistance. With our proprietary in-house heat treatment capabilities, we can provide aluminum rivets in various tempers to achieve the exact mechanical properties your application demands. Aluminum rivets are particularly popular in semi-trailer and boat manufacturing where weight savings and weather resistance are critical. Standard lead time is 2-3 weeks.
See Aluminum Rivets

Brass

Brass solid rivets combine attractive appearance with good corrosion resistance, making them ideal for decorative and marine applications. The natural golden color of brass develops an attractive patina over time, enhancing its aesthetic appeal in architectural and decorative installations. Brass rivets offer good electrical conductivity and are non-magnetic, making them suitable for electrical and instrumentation applications. Popular in leather goods, furniture, and traditional boat building, brass rivets provide both functional fastening and visual appeal.

Copper

Copper solid rivets provide excellent electrical and thermal conductivity for specialized electrical and electronic applications. The natural corrosion resistance of copper makes these rivets suitable for outdoor architectural applications where they develop a distinctive green patina. Copper's antimicrobial properties make these rivets valuable in certain medical and food service applications. Often specified for electrical contactors, grounding applications, and decorative leather work, copper rivets combine functional properties with attractive appearance.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel solid rivets offer the ultimate combination of strength and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for marine, food processing, and chemical environments. Our stainless rivets provide the hardest and most durable fastening solution in our product line, maintaining their integrity in harsh conditions where other materials would fail. Available in 302HQ and other grades, stainless steel rivets eliminate the need for additional plating or coating while providing excellent appearance retention. Though more expensive than steel alternatives, stainless rivets offer superior long-term value in corrosive environments.

Steel

Steel solid rivets provide maximum strength and durability for heavy-duty industrial applications. Available in both hard and annealed conditions, steel rivets offer exceptional shear and tensile strength for structural connections. Our steel wire/material is sourced from domestic mills, ensuring consistent quality and avoiding import tariffs. We offer zinc plating and black oxide finishes to provide corrosion resistance, making steel rivets suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
